Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer Services at The London Clinic

The prostate cancer service is an area in which The London Clinic excels. Our priority is to provide patients with guidance, comfort and access to the best cancer care, supported by a team of multidisciplinary specialists.

WHY CHOOSE THE LONDONIC CLINIC?

We provide the latest, effective treatments for prostate cancer from chemotherapy to innovative care.

The London Clinic was the first hospital in the UK to introduce robotic surgery, a pioneering form of computer-enhanced keyhole surgery.

Prostate Cancer Treatment

Surgery can remove the prostate and the cancer cells within the gland. The London Clinic was the first private hospital in the UK to offer cutting-edge robotic surgery. This is a form of keyhole surgery which enables our surgeons to operate on the prostate with greater accuracy and fewer complications.

The male hormone testosterone drives the growth of prostate cancer cells. If its action is blocked, the cancer will usually get smaller. It won’t cure the condition but it can be effective when used with other treatments.

Blocking the action of testosterone, or reducing testosterone in the body can shrink tumours and slow cancer growth. Innovative new drugs Abiraterone and Enzalutamide can help control hormones, reduce symptoms and improve survival in men who are not responding to treatment.

We also offer complementary therapies for people with cancer. Based in our Duchess of Devonshire Wing, our therapists offer aromatherapy massage, Reflexology, Indian head massage, Reiki and spiritual healing.

We can also provide Macmillan cancer information to help with practical advice and emotional support during this time.
